Hey guy look here I was just bout to send my motor off to get bout 2300 bucks work done to it. I was hoping for bout 55 to 60 hp. but i jsut talk to a man today that said he could get me a turbo charge kit that could put me at the same 55d to 60 on a stock motor with 8 lbs of boost. I need to know if this is true I have seen raptor 700 putting out 80 and 90 hp with turbos anybody got any ideas just don't wanta spend 2300.00 what i can get the same power for 600. thanks guy

Turbos live on low compression. I'd say 12:1 would be too high for a true turbo setup, but dont know these smaller engines as well as cars....

In my personal opinion... And this is just my opinion and nothing more.... But turbos and 2000+ $ engine setups are a waste for most guys, unless you just have money to throw away of course....

Cams, FCI, PC3 or other fuel programmer, and a full exhaust will probably net you 50 hp, or really close, and all that would only cost about 1k give or take.

So... I cant really give you any insight on the turbo deal, other than what I know about cars. Turbos always make big power upgrades so long as the appropriate supporting mods are done. Lots of management work to run a good turbo setup.

i thot the same thing bout the 12:1 but i can't find a lower compresion piston for it but as i said be4 i'm trying to get to 60hp and i can't to that without goning into to motor( new 13.8 je piston and hotrod crank) having this done slong with the port and polish head web cams and +1 values would get me just where i wanted to be on hp 58 to 60. but it comes with a price of 2200 to 2400 bucks this is y I was looking into turbos i found a kit for 395 on ebay.Universal Turbo motorcycle atv bike rzr rhino power kit | eBay

Have a look. The thing i'm not sure of is if i run the 8lbs of boost is if the stock rod will handle it. I no that it will put out the hp I want. Is just the thing that if i have to replace the rod I mite as well build it to run on motor and forget the turbo.

With 12.0:1 piston you'll will have to run 110 octane plus with 8 psi boost...

8 psi of boost added to your cylinder pressure will boost it to the equivalence of around 14.0:1 compression ratio...you'll will need a stronger rod and weld your crank pin to hold the alignment...and ceramic main bearings too...

You'll will need more boost than 8 psi to handle just the added weight of the turbo kit, wastegate and inter-cooler to the overall weight of your quad and rider....

Power to weight ratio...Less weight, More power = faster and quicker times....
